Spherical Cellulose

This book examines the processing, applications, sustainability considerations, and challenges of spherical cellulose across a range of sizes. It also explores cellulose solvents; functional modifications of spherical morphologies; regeneration into spherical structures; and size-dependent applications. Specifically, it:

• Summarizes current research and advances in identifying natural and biocompatible alternatives to synthetic plastics and other potentially carcinogenic materials.
• Covers fundamental and applied knowledge of the sustainable, renewable biopolymer cellulose and its various forms.
• Explains methods for regenerating cellulose into spherical forms of varying sizes to achieve application-specific performance.
• Describes new, eco-friendly approaches to producing regenerated cellulose materials and assesses their technical feasibility and economic viability.
• Discusses ecosystem remediation through pollutant removal.

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in cellulose science, nanotechnology, and materials science.
